Achillion Pharmaceuticals (ACHN) in Focus: Stock Falls 6.4% - Tale of the Tape

Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ACHN saw a big move last session, as the company's shares fell by over 6% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This reverses the recent trend for ACHN, as the stock is now up nearly 162% since Jun 2.

The biopharmaceutical company has seen a flat track record when it comes to current year estimate revisions over the past few weeks, and the consensus for earnings hasn't been in a trend either. This recent price action is discouraging, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future, and especially on earnings estimates following the recent slump.

ACHN currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

Some better-ranked stocks in the same sector include ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ANIP, Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD and Illumina Inc. ILMN. All these stocks hold a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
